it's ok, you can just take the cookies

today I went to work like I do everyday. one of my co-workers started talking about paradise bakery and how much she loves their salads...so I start thinking about paradise. pretty much the only thing I think of when I think of paradise is their cookies and naturally I start thinking about how I want to eat their cookies...and I think about this for the next four hours that I'm at work. you better believe when I finished the first place I went was paradise.
I walked in while chatting on my phone and ordered 2 coconut chocolate chip cookies. the girl bagged up my cookies and I reached in my sac and pulled out a handful of change; last I checked it was still a form of currency. I started to separate out the quarters when the girl said "it's ok, you can just take the cookies."
I was a bit confused at first for a couple reasons; one, I was talking on the phone and in a conversation, two, I was counting out money and trying to figure out how much the tax would be since it wasn't already figured into the price, and three because my blood sugar was pretty low and I get spacey when I haven't eaten in a while. I finally came around and thanked her, thinking "oh man, this is so great!"
I love when people are just randomly nice and do nice things!
I would have photographed the cranes with the cookies, but you better believe I scarfed those things the second I got in my car. they were delicious.
enjoi!

oh yeah, I live in america.

on my way home from the gym, I checked the mail.
every once in a while, there's a little somethin' somethin' for your's truly.
today was one of those days :)
I looked down at the envelope and thought, "wow, something is weird about that stamp. why would they use an international stamp on me?"
then it hit me folks. I don't live in france anymore. I'm very much aware of that...it's just sometimes the little things get me.
enjoi!

afternoons...

people always ask...
are you a morning or night person?
no one ever asks...
are you an afternoon person?
I feel that I am not an afternoon person. I don't know if anyone really is, otherwise I think people would ask that more. since getting back from boston, I have fallen into a sort of pattern. I wake up in the morning and I go to the gym and work on my fitness. in the evenings, I go to work. usually my afternoons are full of...well just whatever. usually it was cleaning my room. however, today with my room being clean that left me with sometime. I saw this do-it-yourself project at honestly...wtf and decided that I would do it today.
not bad for a little afternoon project?
stay tuned...I'm feelin' crafty and I've got more cranes up my sleeve!
enjoi!
